The '''Candle''' is a light source [[item]] that can be occasionally found on top of tables or desks in [[The Hotel]]. It requires an ignition source to be used.

== {{Icons|Usage}} Usage ==
When equipped, the ''candle'' will remain unlit until a [[player]] lights it in a fireplace or lights it with a [[lighter]], using some durability of it (if the player prefers to use one instead of a fireplace). Once lit, it will create a small source of light around the player. The light will go out when the player stops holding the candle and will need to be lit again. Having it equipped will slowly use up the ''candle''<nowiki/>'s fuel. Once out of fuel, it will be removed from player's [[inventory]] with a unique message being displayed ("Your ''candle'' ran out.")

The fuel of the ''candle'' is divided into 8 bars. A ''candle'' can last approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds at maximum fuel while being constantly used, and will not consume fuel when its flame is out. The ''candle''<nowiki/>'s model in the player's hand will visibly shorten as its fuel is depleted.

If the ''candle'' is placed into the [[Rift]], it will transmute into a [[Moonlight Candle]], granting the "Lost In Translation" [[Achievements|achievement]].

=== Notes ===
* The ''candle'' can spawn as early as [[The Reception]], which can be easily rifted into the Moonlight Candle.
* ''Candles'' cannot be unlit unless unequipped. Unequipping a ''candle'' will require the player to relight it.
* The ''Candle''<nowiki/>'s fuel cannot be replenished. The only way to get more fuel is to replace it with a different ''candle'', or transforming it into a Moonlight Candle (the process of transformation replenishes the fuel).

{{AnyIcons|ProsAndConsIcon.png|Pros and Cons|format===|caption=Pros and Cons}}

=== {{Icons|Positive}} Pros ===

* Large radius.
* Great for multiplayer runs.
* Has a good amount of fuel durability.
* Usually has a good amount of fuel once picked up for the first time.
* It's relatively easy to be found early within in a run.
* Can be reignited by using a fireplace in The Hotel and by using flaming barrel in The Mines without the use of Lighter.
* Works in The Rooms, unlike the Moonlight Candle.
* Can be turned into the Moonlight Candle when put in Moonlight Rift.
* Multiple candles can be found in a single run, even though they are rare. (However, it becomes more common to spawn early multiple times on multiplayer runs).
* Can be useful in dark rooms.

=== {{Icons|Negative}} Cons ===

* Can have a fuel time around 50% when found on table, which is very low and usually not worth to keep in the inventory.
* Cannot be used and will lose fuel when in underwater or when under the "wet" status effect.
* Exclusive to the tables in The Hotel, cannot be found in Shops.
* Attracts Gloombats.
* It will be removed from the inventory when it runs out of fuel.
* When re-equipping it, it is necessary to re-light it.

== {{Icons|Bugs}} Bugs ==
* A ''candle'' can sometimes overlap with a globe or the [[Green Herb]]. This makes the item impossible to grab.
* The ''candle'' icon had both 3 and 4 subdivisions. This was only a visual bug.
* Although a [[lighter]] in use explodes the player in a [[Firedamp]] Leak, a lit candle won't.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|TjIhW7CUxN0}}</ref> A video of a player igniting the Candle in a room containing [[Firedamp]]</ref> (Either this is a bug, or it is something related to Guiding Light)
* There used to be a bug where the candle never went out when [[Rush]] approached, this has been patched as the candle has been reworked and the function has been given to [[Moonlight Candle|another item]].
* Even if a fireplace is out, it can still be used to light a ''candle''.

== {{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia ==
* At the 6th daily teaser, Doors officially announced that the candle's durability will lasts 10 times longer (12 and 30s mins) and is guaranteed to spawned in Door 1 in the next update.
** The durability revamp also applies to the Moonlight candle, with infinite durability in the next update. 
* The cup part that holds the ''Candle'' is a small cup that used to be in drawers before [[The Hotel+ Update]].
* The ''Candle'' is the only light source to have a message when it runs out of fuel unlike the [[Lighter]] and [[Flashlight]]. When it runs out, it displays the message "Your ''Candle'' ran out".
* Originally, the ''Candle'' was able to detect entities in its normal state. After [[The Mines Update]], this functionality was given to the [[Moonlight Candle]], which is only obtainable through placing a ''Candle'' in Guiding Light's [[Rift]].
* After The Mines Update, The ''Candle'' has its durability increased from 120 seconds to 150 seconds. It does not detect entities anymore, but its radius got increased.
* The ''Candle'' is the first [[Items|item]] in the game that can be transformed in the Rift, the second being the [[Smoothie]].
* It is possible to find 2 candles in one run, but it's extremely rare.
* Before [[The Content Update]], when trying to swap 2 full candles, the game said 300/300 instead of the normal light-source-swap icon, which showed the durability bar comparison.
** The same happens with the Moonlight ''Candle''.
* If you have the Curious Rift and find a ''Candle'' before The Reception despawns, it is advised to insert the ''Candle'' in the Guiding Light Rift to turn it into a Moonlight ''Candle''. 
* In the next [[Update Logs|update]], it is planned for the ''Candle'' to last 10 times longer,<ref name=":0">https://x.com/DoorsRoblox/status/1929294652231897553</ref> although it is very likely it won't get that much extra durability.<ref>https://x.com/LightningSplash/status/1929298741170761977</ref>
* The team has also shown interest in making the ''Candle'' guaranteed to spawn in Door 1<ref name=":0" /> but this is very likely also being changed, making it spawn around Door 10 always now, as it would be too overpowered because of the rift in the same room.<ref>https://x.com/LightningSplash/status/1929302331490709961</ref>
